 Safety instructions

4 The positioner may only be assembled, started up or operated by trained

and experienced personnel familiar with the product.
According to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel is
referred to as individuals who are able to judge the work they are assigned
to and recognize possible dangers due to their specialized training, their
knowledge and experience as well as their knowledge of the relevant stan-
dards.
4 Explosion-protected versions of this positioner may only be operated by per-
sonnel who have undergone special training or instructions or who are au-
thorized to work on explosion-protected devices in hazardous areas. Refer
to section 6 on Servicing explosion-protected versions.
4 Any hazards that could be caused by the process medium, the operating
pressure, the signal pressure or by moving parts of the control valve are to
be prevented by means of the appropriate measures. If inadmissible motions
or forces are produced in the actuator as a result of the supply pressure
level, it must be restricted by means of a suitable supply pressure reducing
station.
4 Proper shipping and appropriate storage are assumed.

4 Note! The device with a CE marking fulfils the requirements of the Directives
94/9/EC (ATEX) and 89/336/EEC (EMC).

 Design and principle of operation
1 Design and principle of
operation
The positioner consists of an electro-
pneumatic converter unit (i/p converter) and
a pneumatic unit equipped with a lever for
travel pick-up, a measuring diaphragm, and
the pneumatic control system with nozzle,
diaphragm lever (flapper plate), and
booster.
The positioner is designed either for direct
attachment to SAMSON Type 3277 Actua-
tors or for attachment according to NAMUR
(IEC 60534-6) with an adapter housing.
The positioner can be additionally equipped
with either inductive limit switches and/or a
solenoid valve or a position transmitter.
The DC control signal, e.g. 4 to 20 mA, is-
sued by the control unit is transmitted to the
electropneumatic conversion unit (13) where
it is converted into a proportional pressure
signal pe.
The positioner operates according to the
force-balance principle. The valve travel, i.e.
the valve position, is transmitted to the
pick-up lever (1) over the pin (1.1) and de-
termines the force of the measuring spring
(4). This force is compared to the positioning
force generated by the pressure pe at the
measuring diaphragm (5).
If either the control signal or the valve posi-
tion changes, the diaphragm lever (3)
moves, altering the distance to the nozzle
(2.1 or 2.2), depending on the set operating
direction of the positioner.
The air is supplied to the booster (10) and
the pressure regulator (9). The controlled
supply air is fed to the i/p module, then
flows through the Xp restriction (8) and the
nozzle (2.1, 2.2) to finally stream on the di-
4 EB 8355-2 EN
aphragm lever (flapper plate). Any change
in the reference variable or the valve stem
position cause the pressure to change up-
stream or downstream of the booster. The
air controlled by the booster (signal pressure
pst) flows through the volume restriction (11)
to the pneumatic actuator, causing the plug
stem to move to a position corresponding to
the DC input signal (reference variable).
The adjustable Xp restriction (8) and volume
restriction (11) are used to optimize the
positioner control loop. The pick-up lever (1)
and the range spring (4) must be selected to
match the rated valve travel and the nominal
span of the reference variable.
Positioner with inductive limit switches
In this version, the rotary shaft of the
positioner carries two adjustable tags which
actuate the built-in proximity switches.
Positioner with solenoid valve
When the positioner is equipped with a so-
lenoid valve, the control valve can be moved
to the fail-safe position regardless of the
positioner's output signal. If a control signal
corresponding to the binary signal "0" (off)
is applied to the input, the signal pressure
pst is shut off and the actuator is vented. The
actuator springs move the control valve to its
fail-safe position. If a control signal corre-
sponding to the binary signal "1" (on) is ap-
plied to the input, the signal pressure pst is
supplied to the actuator. The control valve is
in control operation.

 Design and principle of operation

Positioner with position transmitter

A positioner containing a position transmit-
ter cannot be equipped with integrated limit
switches or an integrated solenoid valve
since the position transmitter requires most
of the space inside. The position transmitter
is used to establish a certain relationship be-
tween the valve position, i.e. the valve
travel, and a controller output signal of 4 to
20 mA. The position transmitter setting en-
sures that both end positions "valve
CLOSED" or "valve OPEN" as well as all in-
termediate positions can be signalized.
Since the valve position is signalized inde-
pendently of the input signal to the
positioner, the position transmitter is a suit-
able option for checking the current valve
position.

 Attachment to control valve
The rotary motion of these actuators is con-
verted into a linear motion required by the
pneumatic control unit of the positioner us-
ing the cam disk of the actuator shaft and a
cam follower roll on the positioner lever.
Note! Use Table 7 to check whether the
proper range spring (1 or 2) has been in-
stalled. Range spring 1 is installed as stan-
dard. If necessary, replace it with range
spring 2 included in the accessories and at-
tach it at the outer slot.
Double-acting springless rotary actuators re-
quire the use of a reversing amplifier on the
connection side of the positioner housing
(see section 2.3.4).
When using a reversing amplifier, the pres-
sure regulator (9, Fig. 2) must be turned
clockwise as far as it will go (also see sec-
tion 3.1.2).
When attaching the positioner to the
SAMSON Type 3278 Rotary Actuator (Fig.
8, left), the actuator's inside and the unused
reverse side of the diaphragm are filled with
the positioner's exhaust air. Additional pip-
ing is not required. When attaching the
positioner to actuators from other manufac-
turers (Fig. 8, right), the reverse side of the
diaphragm can be filled with air over a pipe
connection installed between the actuator
and the intermediate piece.
2.3.1 Mounting the cam follower
lever
1. Place the lever with the cam follower roll
(35) on the side of the feedback lever
20 EB 8355-2 EN
(37) opposite the insert nuts. Fasten with
the supplied screws (38) and washers.
Note!
To ensure a close physical contact between
the cam follower roll and the cam disk, fix
the spring contained in the accessories kit
(order no. 1400-6660) at the rear of the
positioner housing (see Fig. 5).
2.3.2 Mounting the intermediate
piece
SAMSON Type 3278 Actuator
1. Screw the adapter (36) to the free end of
the actuator shaft.
2. Attach the intermediate piece (34) to the
actuator housing using two screws. Align
the intermediate piece to ensure that the
air connections of the positioner point to-
wards the diaphragm housing.
3. Align the cam disk (40) and scale (39)
as described in section 2.3.3 and fasten
with screws.

2.3.3 Default setting of the cam
disk
The valve model used determines the default
setting of the cam disk.
Note!
Cam disks tailored to the special character-
istic of a valve cause the valve to open in a
non-linear or non-equal percentage way.
The visible difference between the set point
(4 to 20 mA) and the actual value (opening
angle) does not constitute a system deviation
of the positioner.
Figs. 9 and 10 show linear cam disks.
Fig. 9 illustrates a control valve assembly
with a spring-loaded rotary actuator that
opens counterclockwise. The arrangement of
the springs in the actuator determines the
fail-safe position of the valve.
Fig. 10 shows how to adjust the cam disk
when a double-acting springless rotary actu-
ator is used. The direction of rotation, either
counterclockwise or clockwise, depends on
the actuator and valve model used. The cam
disk must be set when the valve is closed.
22 EB 8355-2 EN
Use the turnboard (7) to adjust the operat-
ing direction of the positioner, i.e. whether
the valve opens or closes when the reference
variable increases (direct >> or reverse <>).
Each cam disk carries two cam sections
whose starting points are indicated by small
bores. Depending on the operating direction
of the rotary actuator – signal pressure
opens or closes the valve – the starting point
of the cam, either marked N (standard char-
acteristic) or I (reverse characteristic), must
point towards the cam follower roll. When
the starting point is located on the back of
the cam disk, turn over the cam disk.
Note!
The starting point (bore) of the selected cam
section must be aligned with the fulcrum of
the cam disk, the 0° position of the scale,
and the arrow symbol on the inspection
glass.
When aligning the cam disk, the dou-
ble-sided scale disk must be clipped on the
cam disk such that the value on the scale
corresponds to the control valve's direction
of rotation.
Note!
Make sure the 0° position of the scale al-
ways corresponds to CLOSED position.
For actuators with fail-safe position "Valve
OPEN" and for springless actuators, it is
therefore necessary to apply the maximum
supply pressure to the actuator before align-
ing the cam disk.

3.1 Pneumatic connections
The pneumatic connections are designed as
tapped holes with ¼ NPT or G ¼ thread.
The conventional male connections for metal
and copper pipes (or plastic hoses) can be
used.
Note!
The supply air must be dry and free of any
oil and dust.
Always observe the maintenance instructions
applicable to the connected pressure reduc-
ing stations. Blow out air lines thoroughly
before connecting them.
When attaching the Type 3277 Actuator di-
rectly, the signal pressure connection is
fixed. When using NAMUR attachment, the
signal pressure line is connected to either
the upper or lower diaphragm chamber of
the actuator depending on the actuator's
fail-safe action, i.e. "Actuator stem retracts"
or "Actuator stem extends".
Exhaust air
Positioners with model index 3767-x...x.03
or higher are equipped with a hinged cover
without a vent connection. The required ex-
haust air connection for these models are
now included in the mounting accessories.
For direct positioner attachment, the vent
plug is located on the plastic cover of the
actuator; for NAMUR attachment, it is lo-
cated on the adapter housing, and for at-
tachment to rotary actuators the vent plug
28 EB 8355-2 EN
can be found on the intermediate piece or
the reversing amplifier.
Note!
When using older models with index
3767-x...x. 02 or lower, mounting parts will
have to be replaced as well.
3.1.1 Pressure gauge
To monitor the positioner, we recommend to
install pressure gauges for the supply air
and the signal pressure.
The required parts are listed as accessories
in Tables 4, 5 or 7.
3.1.2 Supply pressure
The required supply pressure is determined
by the bench range and the operating direc-
tion (fail-safe action) of the actuator.
The bench range is written on the nameplate
as spring range or signal pressure range
depending on the type of actuator. FA (actu-
ator stem extends) or FE (actuator stem re-
tracts) or a symbol indicates the operating
direction.
Actuator stem extends (FA):

pstmax = F + d ⋅π ⋅ Δp [bar]
4⋅ A

d = Seat diameter [cm]

Δp = Differential pressure at the valve [bar]
A = Actuator diaphragm area [cm2]
F = Upper range value of the actuator

In the absence of such specifications, pro-

ceed as follows:
Required supply pressure =
Upper bench range value + 1 bar

Pressure regulator
After tilting the cover plate back, the pres-
sure regulator (9) can be continuously ad-
justed. When the adjuster is turned counter-
clockwise as far as it will go, signal pres-
sures for spring ranges up to 2.5 bar are
controlled. When the adjuster is turned
clockwise all the way, signal pressures for
spring ranges up to 6.0 bar are controlled.
If the signal pressure must not exceed a cer-
tain value, this limit can be adjusted using a
pressure gauge (accessories).

 Operation
4 Operation
4.1 Adjusting the positioner at the
valve
Starting point and reference variable
When adjusting the positioner directly at the
control valve, the travel (opening angle)
must be adapted to the reference variable.
With a reference variable, for example, 4 to
20 mA, the valve must pass through its en-
tire travel range from 0 to 100 % (Fig. 13,
left).
For rotary positioners, an opening angle,
for example, 0 to 70° must be assigned to
the reference variable.
The starting point refers to CLOSED position
of the valve.
Depending on the actuator version ("Actua-
tor stem extends" or "Actuator stem re-
tracts") and the operating direction of the
positioner (>> or <>), this starting point can
be represented by either the lower or upper
range value (4 or 20 mA) of the reference
Open
Travel
Closed
Reference variable

Fig. 13 · Standard and split-range operation
32 EB 8355-2 EN
variable. The reference variable range and
thus the upper range value determine the
travel of the valve.
In split-range operation (Fig. 13, right), the
control valves operate on smaller reference
variables. The controller output signal is
used to control two control valves, dividing it
such that the valves pass through their entire
travel range at half the input signal range
each (e.g. first valve set to 4 to 12 mA, sec-
ond valve set to 12 to 20 mA). To avoid
overlapping, allow for a dead band of
±0.5 mA as shown in Fig. 13.
The starting point (zero) is adjusted at the
zero adjuster screw (6.2); the span, i.e. the
upper range value, is adjusted at the span
adjuster screw (6.1).
When adjusting, connect a suitable amme-
ter to the signal input and apply a supply
pressure to the supply air input.

Note!
When the positioner is controlled by a com-
puter whose signal is limited, e.g. between 4
to 20 mA, set the positioner to the range
from 4.5 to 20 mA.
This is the only way to ensure that the actua-
tor is completely vented and the valve com-
pletely closed when the controller issues a
4 mA signal.
For operating direction <>, set the range to
4 to 19.5 mA.
4.1.1 Adjusting the proportional
band Xp and air delivery Q
1. Close the volume restriction (11) as far
as the required positioning speed per-
mits.
To check, push the diaphragm lever (3)
as far it will go.
2. Adjust the reference variable at the input
to approx. 50 % of its range.
3. Turn the zero adjuster (6.2) until the
valve has reached approx. mid-travel.
4. Use the adjuster (8) to set the propor-
tional band Xp to a medium value (½
turn).
5. Check the valve's tendency to hunt and
the positioning speed by briefly tapping
the diaphragm lever (3).
The Xp value is to be adjusted to be as
small as possible, without considerable
overshooting occurring.
Operation
Note!
Always adjust the Xp restriction before set-
ting the starting point.
Later modifications shift the zero point!
4.1.2 Adjusting the actuator:
"Actuator stem extends"
Starting point (e.g. 4 mA)
1. Set the input signal to 4 mA using an
ammeter.
2. Turn the zero adjuster (6.2) until the con-
trol valve just starts to move from its ini-
tial position.
3. Switch off the input signal and slowly in-
crease it again. Check whether the valve
starts to move at exactly 4.5 mA. Correct
any deviation on the zero adjuster (6.2).
Upper range value (e.g. 20 mA)
1. Once the starting point has been set, in-
crease the input signal to 20 mA using
the ammeter.
At exactly 20 mA, the plug stem must stand
still, having passed through 100 % travel
(watch the travel indicator at the valve).
If the upper range value is incorrect, turn the
span adjuster (travel). Four turns corre-
spond to a travel change of 10 % in stan-
dard operation. In split-range operation,
this value is reduced by half. Turn the ad-
juster clockwise to reduce the travel and
counterclockwise to increase it.
EB 8355-2 EN 33
 Operation
2. After correction has been completed,
switch off the control signal and increase
it again. Check the starting point and the
upper range value. Repeat the correction
procedure until both values are correct.
Note!
When setting the zero adjuster (6.2), check
whether the actuator is relieved of pressure.
When the input signal is 4 mA and the op-
erating direction >>, or the input signal is
20 mA and the operating direction <>, the
pressure gauge must indicate 0 bar. Correct
zero accordingly!
4.1.3 Adjusting the actuator:
"Actuator stem retracts"
Note!
When using an actuator with fail-safe action
"Actuator stem retracts", the diaphragm
chamber must be pressurized with a signal
pressure sufficient to close the valve tightly
even when an upstream pressure is applied
in the plant. This applies to an upper range
value of the reference variable of 20 mA
and operating direction >>, and a lower in-
put range value of 4 mA and operating di-
rection <>.
The required signal pressure is either indi-
cated on the positioner label or can be
roughly calculated as described in section
3.1.2.
34 EB 8355-2 EN
Starting point (e.g. 20 mA)
1. Set the input signal to 20 mA using an
ammeter.
2. Turn the zero adjuster (6.2) until the
valve just starts to move from its initial
position.
3. Increase the input signal and slowly re-
duce it to 20 mA again. Check whether
the valve starts to move at exactly
20 mA.
4. Correct any deviations on the zero ad-
juster (6.2). Turning the adjuster counter-
clockwise causes the valve to move from
its end position earlier; turning it clock-
wise causes the valve to move from its
end position later.
Upper range value (e.g. 4 mA)
1. Once the starting point has been set, ad-
just the input signal to 4 mA using the
ammeter. At exactly 4 mA, the plug stem
must stand still, having passed through
100 % travel (watch travel indicator at
the valve).
2. If the upper range value is incorrect, turn
the span adjuster (travel). Four turns cor-
respond to a travel change of 10 % in
standard operation. In split-range opera-
tion, this value is reduced by half. Turn
the adjuster clockwise to reduce the travel
and counterclockwise to increase it.
3. After correction has been completed, re-
set the control signal to 20 mA.
4. Turn the zero adjuster (6.2) again until
the pressure gauge indicates the re-
quired signal pressure (see section
3.1.2).
 Operation

Note!
Having attached and calibrated the
positioner, make sure that the vent plug on
the housing cover points downward when
the valve is installed in the plant.

4.2 Changing the operating

direction
If you want to change the operating direc-
tion of directly attached positioners (Fig. 3)
after they have been installed, turn the
turnboard (7) and change the position of the
connection block, the positioner, and the
clamp (1.2).
For attachment according to IEC 60534-6
(NAMUR), turn the turnboard (7) and the
positioner on the adapter housing (Fig. 6).
For rotary positioners, reassign the cam
disk as shown in Fig. 9 and 10.
For details on changing the turnboard (7),
refer to section 2 ("Mounting position and
operating direction").

EB 8355-2 EN 35
 Operation

4.3 Adjusting the limit switches
The positioner version with inductive limit
switches has two adjustable tags mounted
on a rotary axis which operate the associ-
ated proximity switches (50).
To operate the inductive limit switches, con-
nect the corresponding switching amplifiers
in the output circuit (see section 3.2.1).
When the tag (51) is inside the inductive
field of the switch, the switch assumes a high
resistance. When the tag is outside the field,
the switch assumes a low resistance. The
limit switches are usually adjusted to issue a
signal for both end positions. Nevertheless,
they can also be set to signalize intermedi-
ate positions. The switches A and B must be
assigned to the end positions of the control
valve (valve OPEN or CLOSED) depending
on the operating direction and the mounting
position according to Tables 8 and 9. The
terminals 41/42 and 51/52 can optionally
be assigned to the switches A and B by turn-
ing the associated nameplate on the termi-
nal block (also see Fig. 12).
Note!
As the tags of the limit switches cannot be
turned by 360°, make sure that the switches
A and B are correctly assigned to the end
positions "valve OPEN" and "valve
CLOSED", especially when the limit switches
are to be used for fail-safe circuits.
The desired switching function, i.e. whether
the output relay must be picked up or re-
leased when the tag has entered the field,
must be determined by means of jumpers for
either working current or closed circuit cur-
rent at the switching amplifier.

Fig. 14 · Limit switch

36 EB 8355-2 EN
 Operation

Setting the switching point

Move the valve to the switching position and
adjust the tag by turning the adjustment
screw (53) so that the switching point is
reached and indicated by the LED on the
switching amplifier. To ensure safe switching
under any condition, the switching point is
to be adjusted to stop approx. 2 % before
the mechanical stop (OPEN – CLOSED) is
reached.

Note!
Having calibrated the positioner, make sure
that the vent plug on the housing cover
points downward when the valve is installed
in the plant.

4.4 Adjusting the position Zero point (ZERO)

transmitter
Note!
The starting point (zero) and upper range
value (span) must be set before calibrating
the position transmitter.
Depending on the position of the 4-pin plug
(symbol on plug: >> or <>), the feedback
signal can be set to either a range of 4 to
20 mA or 20 to 4 mA for 0 to 100 % travel.
Use the switches 1 and 2 to preset the zero
point and the ZERO potentiometer for
fine-tuning. The adjusted value always refers
to 4 mA.
Span (SPAN)
Use the switches 3 and 4 to preset the span,
i.e. the upper range value, and the SPAN
potentiometer for fine-tuning. The adjusted
value always refers to 20 mA.

Example:
Move the valve to open position while ob-
serving the position transmitter signal. If the
signal does not move in the desired direc-
tion, switch over the multi-pin plug. Adjust
the zero point (4 mA) and span (20 mA) for
the valve positions according to Table 10.

6 Servicing explosion-protected
versions
If a part of the positioner on which the ex-
plosion protection is based needs to be ser-
viced, the positioner must not be put back
into operation until an expert has inspected
the device according to explosion protection
requirements, has issued a certificate stating
this or given the device a mark of confor-
mity.
Inspection by an expert is not required if the
manufacturer performs a routine check on
the device prior to putting it back into oper-
ation. The passing of the routine check must
be documented by attaching a mark of con-
formity to the device.
Explosion-protected components may only
be replaced by original, checked compo-
nents from the manufacturer.
Devices that have already been used outside
of hazardous areas and are intended for
use in hazardous areas in future must com-
ply with the safety demands placed on re-
paired devices. Prior to operation, they must
be tested according to the specifications
stipulated for "Repairing explosion-pro-
tected devices".
